After it was confirmed that Meghan's dad, Thomas Markle, would be unable to attend his daughter's wedding day due to his ill health, Kensington Palace confirmed that Prince Charles would be walking Meghan down the aisle.

The statement read, 'Ms. Meghan Markle has asked His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales to accompany her down the aisle of the Quire of St George's Chapel on her Wedding Day. The Prince of Wales is pleased to be able to welcome Ms. Markle to The Royal Family in this way'.

When Meghan first arrives at the venue, the actress will walk up the steps to the Chapel on her own, with her bridesmaids and page boys behind her. She is then expected to be greeted by Prince Charles who will walk her down the aisle.
